It is kind of scary what we can do once we can assemble full functioning cells. Chimera, flying Humans, giant animals, quick regenerative cells, etc. There won't be a limit!

But one step at a time, first we just need to discover how life first ever existed. DNA creation will come later, I am sure!


Anybody's thoughts on this?

well gene therepy would come first

just think custom made virus to reinject your dna

so we grab dna from you when your a kid

and then redistribute it when your older



(ageing after about 25 is caused by flawes in dna reproduction after being a copy of a copy of a copy)


so think about it we can reset your dna to how it was and start the process again

long story short your looking at staying like you look in your 20s for a very very very long time

Extended lifespan. Yes please.

I like the idea of primordial soup...there were amino acid proteins that arrived from a meteor or comet and reached Earth. Then they were struck by lightning and combined. Well, it's something like that anyway.

I know I know. Screenshot or it didn't happen.
